Two spacious suites equipped with private Jacuzzis enhance the sense of luxury.

The Tuna Turner seafood restaurant features fresh catch from the sea, with the option to enjoy meals poolside and on the private beach. Der Café offers a relaxed setting for coffee, snacks, and light meals from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM.

“Ekho Surf Bentota sits directly on a long, swimmable stretch of beach, putting the oceanfront experience first. Two pools offer a more relaxed alternative, while Balinese spa therapies promise deeper rejuvenation. Though some aspects show minor wear, the hotel's attentive service and breadth of dining options make it a solid choice for a Bentota escape.”

Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Ekho Surf Bentota is frequently praised for its beachfront location and easy beach access, with some guests even enjoying direct access from their rooms. The rooms are spacious, modern and clean, often featuring balconies with ocean views. Breakfast receives positive attention, although some found the variety lacking when served as a set menu rather than a buffet. With its well-maintained facilities and easy access to Bentota's railway station, it offers a convenient stay.

fantastic beachfront experience

I enjoyed the direct beach access This made morning walks easy. The staff, especially Vihara, were always smiling and helpful, and their positive attitude added to the experience. I thought the location was a great starting point to explore the area!
The phone in my room did not connect to the reception. it took some time to resolve this issue. I hope they address this soon.

The location met expectations. It sits right by the beach.
The shower head sputtered. The water pressure was low. This made showering take much longer than it should have.

large pools comfy rooms beach restaurant
I enjoyed the location. The hotel grounds meet the beach seamlessly. The two swimming pools are fairly large and available all day. The room on the ground floor was comfortable.
The gym equipment was broken and presented safety issues. The gym also lacked water. The weighing scale was out of order.
